About Billy Brimblecom Jr.
Billy Brimblecom Jr. is a professional drummer, cancer survivor, and CEO of Steps of Faith Foundation. Before his cancer diagnosis, Billy toured internationally as a musician. After losing his leg, he turned his personal experience into a larger mission: helping amputees access the prosthetic limbs they need to move forward.
Billy also co-founded Thundergong!, an annual fundraising event created alongside his best friend, actor and comedian Jason Sudeikis. The event has raised millions of dollars to support amputees nationwide.
His keynote, Find Your Rhythm: Turning Disruption Into Direction, is not a typical business keynote filled with corporate jargon or slide-driven frameworks. It is a powerful, honest, and often funny story about disruption, adaptation, resilience, and finding direction when life does not go according to plan.
What Makes Billy Brimblecom Jr. Stand Out
What makes Billy Brimblecom Jr. stand out as a keynote speaker is his ability to connect a deeply personal story with lessons audiences can immediately feel and apply.
Billy does not simply talk about resilience. He has lived it. His story takes audiences from the stage as a professional drummer, through a life-altering cancer diagnosis, and into a mission that has changed thousands of lives.
His presentations combine humor, music, vulnerability, and purpose-driven storytelling. Audiences leave inspired to face disruption with courage, adapt when life changes rhythm, and find their own way forward with greater perspective and resolve.
